Asatru 101 - Religion vs. Magic
Asatru 101 ‘Cast - Religion vs. Magic - Or a Scholarly Discussion about the by-play between Lore and Magic within Asatru.
Asatru is a religion first and foremost but there is a place for magical practices that are outgrowths from the Lore. We talk about what that means and give a very, very quick gloss on the common magical practices.
Please send us ideas for other Asatru 101 podcasts.
Next week we will have out our last National Asatru Organization podcast.

Your Podcasts are still awesome. Its nice to see you haven’t made a few episodes then fallen apart like other casts. I keep every episode on my iPod and listen to them while I work out.

Well, I personally wouldn’t mind hearing something on the Gods themselves, maybe as individuals; their trails and personal stories. But, on another note, I really admire what you guys have done…thank you!

One of the things I would like to see is an Asatru 101 cast on the steps to beginning a kindred. You found the people, a core group willing to work together … now what?
As to topics on the regular cast, A discussion on applying ones lore knowledge to one’s everyday life. this might also be a 101 caste.
Perhaps some simple and practical “how to” do various aspects: surviving a formal sumbel, surviving a Spae session, how to do a blessing, etc.

I have enjoyed your podcasts. I would like to hear you talk about the Gods and Goddesses, and how we can work with them. If you are feeling brave, you could address the “hot topic” of race and ethnicity in Asatru. Another good topic would be womens’ mysteries. Thank you!

These Podcasts are the best. I very much appreciate the interviews of the various national organizations’ leadership. Great job! I hope that we in the community will continue to provide opportunities for you to create more interesting broadcasts as we develop our networks and begin to change the world.

“Season to taste”… I love it! Thanks for cutting so quickly to the heart of a debate that personally find annoying. We live in a compartmentalized age and it’s easy to forget that our ancestors had a natural, holistic view about these things. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the podcast. To echo Fern Green above, I would love to hear you discuss the perpetual (and slightly annoying) question of race. As a folkish heathen I would be interested to hear the beliefs of people not born into an “Asatru race”, especially how it applies to the Ancestors. Keep up the good work.

I loved the podcast as always. Please do a 101 cast on Ritual. Blot and Sumbel…..the differences and similiarities. Me and my boyfriend both loved this one

Here’s a suggestion for a Asatru 101 podcast topic: What kinds of magic, besides Rune magic, are appropriate to practice in Asatru?
